It’s that time of year when we start thinking about all those wonderful holiday presents, especially all the goodies that we can buy for the children in our lives. But for many families that have children with disabilities, simply affording necessary medical equipment can be a challenge – things like adapted strollers, pediatric gait trainers, therapy equipment, communication devices and more. The financial burden and sacrifices that these families make often make it hard to afford other luxuries. However, for families in Maryland, two wonderful organizations exist to help fill the need for gently used equipment for children. Check out these organizations, contact them, support them, and thank them for the work they do to make a difference in the lives of so many children and their families.
Equipment Connections for Children – Equipment Connections For Children connects families for the purposes of reusing adaptive equipment and by doing so, support each other.
Lollipop Kids Foundation – The Lollipop Kids Equipment closet contains durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, gait trainers, prone boards, adapted chairs, adaptive bicycles, portable ramps, cushions and adaptive bathroom equipment donated to children in need.
Those equipment help kids to walk and stand on their feet.Every Medical equipment has their own significance and use, so choose wisely after discussing it with your physician as which has to be chosen for a particular age of kid.
